IMPORTANT NOTICES

  A payroll error inadvertently triggered the automatic recovery of overpaid SSP overtime true-up payments on last Friday’s paycheck. To address this, off-cycle payments were also issued on Friday to offset the recovered amounts. Any overpayments will be managed in accordance with the 2019 Payroll Issues Letter BST MOA. Approximately 650 SE employees were impacted by this issue. If employees have questions about their payments, they should contact Payroll for assistance.

Notice to all District 3 Core employees using INFOR-INFOR does not show “Option Holidays” in the “Balances” for taken or available hours. Core employees get 32 hours (4days) every year of Option Holiday time.-All District 3 employees using INFOR need to go into the main menu (hamburger menu on top left) & select “View Time Off”-Check every month in 2025 & see if you have shown time to an Option Holiday code (DH-FH-PH). Make sure that you have already taken your 32hrs or have it scheduled.-I don’t recommend trying to carry over HO’s because of the fact they don’t show up in the taken or remaining “Balances”. 

On November 10, 2025, communications are planned by Fidelity to catch-up eligible employees participating in the AT&T Retirement Savings Plan (ARSP) and BellSouth Savings and Security Plan (BSSP).  The content of these communications, which are currently in development, are summarized below:

Changes to ARSP Catch-up Contributions for High Earners

This communication informs ARSP participants that, starting January 1, 2026, IRS regulations will require catch-up contributions for high earners to be made exclusively on a Roth (after-tax) basis. A "high earner" is defined as an employee with more than $145,000 (indexed*) in FICA wages (Box 3 of the form W2) in the previous year.

Changes to BSSP Catch-up Contributions for High Earners

This communication informs BSSP participants that, effective January 1, 2026, IRS regulations will require all catch-up contributions for high earners to be made on a Roth (after-tax) basis. Because the BSSP does not permit Roth contributions, high earners will no longer be able to make catch-up contributions after December 31, 2025.  A "high earner" is defined as an employee with more than $145,000 (indexed*) in FICA wages (Box 3 of the form W2) in the prior year.

* IMPORTANT: The high earner threshold for 2026 was not made available by the IRS as of the date of this notice. The IRS will release the high earner threshold for 2026 in the coming weeks. An alert will be published in NetBenefits communicating this information.
